I live in Missouri where I have enjoyed the protection of a State Do Not Call List. I have received two calls in the (2 or 3?) years the list has been in operation.
Having a state do-not-call registry, I do not see how a national list will reduce the number of unsolicited calls.
You would think the national list will make it easier on telemarketers. It must be easier to deal with one list rather than 50.
When you are spending $billions$ in developing something, do you sign the check before either you, or someone you trust, checks out your investment?
Would you rather trust scientific equipment that, by its nature, was designed for finding that which was being sought? Or, would you rather trust the perception and judgement of a human being that was able to see something that was unfathomed?

...should use their ISPs (or with prior permission) another "smart" mailserver to send out mail (Relay) for them
Maybe I'm wearing a tinfoil hat, but I don't like the idea of my business or personal email going through my ISP's mail servers. Sure, there is no expectation of privacy in unencrypted email. Sure, Carnivore will sniff at it regardless. Its just that the fewer log files that record my activity, the happier I feel.
And, SPEWS has blacklisted my ISP. So, my ISP's SMTP server is just as blacklisted as my own.
...passed by the St. Louis County Council in 2000, requires children...
Thank god I live in the City of St. Louis. I keep hearing about this kind of strange goings on out in the County. The last time I heard about anything this crazy was when they tried to ban MTV in St. Charles County. That didn't last very long, though.
I have kids too, though. So, of course, I'm a concerned parent. But, as Bart said unto Lisa, "How can you expect to become desensitized to violence if you don't watch it."
SCO doesn't need to send me their code. If someone at SCO would just package it up in a few.tgz files and post the URL here, I can download it and take care of it myself.
I was trying to make clear that the site was functioning just fine and that "Mensa Babe" was karma whoring pretty badly.
Maybe it is just me, but when I see someone proudly associating themselves with Mensa, I want to break out the clue-sticks and start swinging. I was once invited to a Mensa meeting here in St. Louis. What I saw was a bunch of people that tested just high enough to join, and of course, they were so proud of themselves. Or, maybe I was at an Amway sales presentation...
These things had better be designed with security as a top consideration. I can see all sorts of potential disasters -- sending incorrect targeting information, remotely controlling the soldiers weapons, or worst of all, a command to tighten the built-in tourniquets on all suits.
My parents had to change isp and email addresses due to a move. This pissed off my Dad. Well, I decided to help. I've got dsl with a static ip, so, I bought them a domain ($9 at godaddy), created an mx record at zoneedit (free), and configured my mail server to accept their domain.
My parents don't even know that I'm using spamassassin et al on my mail server. Also, they never have to worry about changing email addresses again, assuming the.com tld stays in business.
After about a year of running this, both my Mom and Dad have commented that they never get spam anymore. They hear from their friends and coworkers that the spam problem is getting worse every day. My Dad thought they were full of shit, until he was visiting and I showed him all of the spam that had been filtered from his account. Now, my Dad gets to brag about his "genious" son who can stop spam! I told him that I could also tie my shoes and spell "lose", but he wasn't impressed.
The downside is that whenever there is any kind of error from outlook express, I get a call, especially from Mom. "My email is not working. When will you have it fixed? And, whatever is wrong, it is also keeping me from seeing the internet" Its all my fault. But, Mom's getting pretty good at cycling the power on their dsl bridge and nat router. That usually fixes it all just fine.
I'm tired of discussing and dealing with spam. I know that won't make it go away. But, it seems like I'm spending more time talking about, and battling against spam than I am spending time having sex.
Here is something funny. I just heard on foxnews that Bagdad looters will now face 3 weeks, instead of just 2 days of 'detention'. I got this image of these bearded, dark skinned guys sitting in those little chair-desk units in long rows. Passing notes, shooting spitwads.... Oh well, I thought it was funny. Detention.
Anyway, I say we stop talking about spam and have more sex.
On that note, I'll go make sure the kids are sound asleep and wake up my wife, in the best way.
Thinking along the same lines as the "None of the above" choice, I've considered how human nature might be the culprit of voter apathy.
People are more apt to criticize than to praise. So, getting people to go out and say, "Hey! I think this candidate is good, I'll vote for them" is not an easy task. Perhaps this is why negative campaigning works so well.
What if we reveresed the current system. Instead of voting for a single candidate, votes would be cast against them. One could vote against everyone if one wished. You could vote against Kang, and Kodos. The candidate with the least votes wins. It might even give third party candidates a chance.
This would appeal to human nature by letting voters do what they do best -- complain.
Both the WPC55AG and WMP55AG adapters are based on Broadcom's chips. As well, both the WPC54G and WMP54G also use Broadcom's chips. There are no public linux drivers for this chip as of yet. From what I've read, the WRT and WAP products also use the Broadcom chips, but since they require no client drivers, it is a non-issue. What I find interesting is that these access points run embedded linux, which means that there is linux code out there for talking to these chips.
If you don't believe me about the chips, look at the photos of the internals of these things. They can be found in the FCC database here.
I made the mistake of purchasing the WAP54G and WPC54G products without checking for linux support. It had been so long since it was an issue that I had forgotten to check.

I run spamassassin as well. Whenever I start getting false negatives, I check for an updated spamassassin
I'm running 2.51 and the most recent is 2.53. Looking back through my email, I see that I got the update notification email, but skipped installing it for some unremembered reason. I'll re-run the offending emails through the 2.53 version, but I'll be suprised if there is any significant difference in scoring.
Thanks for the heads-up, though. Even if it doesn't matter, I still should have checked to make sure I was running the most current version.

There is a member list. It also contains a fairly eclectic list of the members urls.

A picture is worth a thousand words. How much is a perception worth?
Don't even begin to tell me that robotic sensors can transmit higher quality information than what is capable of human perception.

You should check your internet connection. The site is working just fine.
I probably should not have read it twice, then.
